Burning Chometz Outside 770

The one designated place to burn Chometz this year was in front of 770. The burning trash cans were manned by police officers from our Community Patrol Unit who maintained a safe environment for burning Chometz.

Lines backed up quite a bit and in response the NYPD decided that next year they will use a dumpster instead of the trash cans, this way it will alleviate the long lines and the area will stay clean.

    To Awsum pictures: A few years agoe the fire department used to go around crown hights and put out the fires especialy in front of 770.
    Now they figured out that it would be eazyer to controle an organized fire than to deal with all the sonay yisroel’s complaints.

    I found it interesting to see the officer manning the fire still finding the need to smoke- as if the smoke wasn’t enough…
